Working with Existing Pay Batches

Working with Existing Pay Batches
Existing pay batches can be searched for and listed on the Payroll > Pay Process > Pay Run > Pay Batch List screen. This includes all pay batches that are:

  • open

  • closed

  • cancelled.

Where the processing of an open pay batch has been paused, you can find the batch via the Pay Batch List screen and reopen the pay batch so that processing of the batch can be completed. Closed and cancelled pay batches cannot be reopened for processing.
